172 The benefits of home delivery(2/2)

No, there are only 150 kilograms or about 300 pieces that are truly intact.

Not to mention giving it to my relatives, I really don’t even have enough to eat at home.

As for the hundred kilograms Shi Zhongkui sent after the New Year, it was a fire far away that could not save the fire near.

For a time, the Jia family didn't have enough peaches to sell them for money, or just use them to greet relatives and friends.

We can only turn to Shi Zhongkui again.

But how could Shi Zhongkui let the Jia family take direct advantage? However, Jia She and Jia Zheng probably wanted to show some respect, and when they ordered Jia Lian to come to the house, they brought a lot of good things.

Shi Zhongkui didn't give anything, but felt a little embarrassed.

But just ten or twenty kilograms of peaches were not enough for the Jia family.

In the end, I had no choice but to find Yingchun again.

But this time Yingchun didn't even think about it and directly sent away the mother-in-law who came to visit.

Of course, if you don’t send peaches, it is still necessary to send something else.

After all, regardless of the fact that Yingchun was the daughter of the Jia family, just because she was concerned about Shi Zhongkui's reputation, Yingchun couldn't plucking away her hair like an iron rooster.

When the woman returned to Jia's house and reported to Jia She and Mrs.

There aren’t even enough tributes for ancestor worship.”

Even though Jia She was anxiously running around, he had no choice but to give up in the end, and then hid in the east courtyard of Rongguo Mansion like a coward, leaving all his troubles to Jia Zheng.

Anyway, Jia Zheng is the head of the Rongguo Mansion, and these old family friends will not go beyond Jia Zheng to find him, an indifferent old man.

Jia She was so angry that his heart was trembling because he clearly had money to make but couldn't.

Jia Zheng, who was under heavy pressure, only managed to hold on for three days before his hair turned gray at the hands of his relatives and family friends.

After all, for the sake of filial piety and reputation, those elders in the family who have passed their birthdays will not care whether the Jia family is in trouble.

So Mrs. Wang had to put down her dignity and sent a woman to find Aunt Xue, and then learned from Baochai that Shi Zhongkui's recent thoughts were on war horses.

Suddenly, he came up with an idea and said to Jia She, "Sir, since my second uncle is short of horses for his farmland, why not tell the old folks about this? Besides, my family and my uncle really don't have many fairy peaches.

In exchange for the horse, the relatives will no longer have a reason to gossip, and they can help my uncle solve some troubles. In the future, the second girl and my uncle will get closer to Baoyu."

Jia Zheng agreed as soon as he heard it, but with an embarrassed expression on his face he said, "Madam's idea is indeed a good one, but I'm worried that my relatives are short of good horses, and I'm worried that the censors will impeach me.

After all, it was Bo Qian who asked me to be the ambassador to the field of the Ministry of Industry for the sake of his relatives."

Mrs. Wang frowned. It was no secret that some people in the Ministry of Industry were envious and jealous of Jia Zheng.

After thinking for a long time, Mrs. Wang thought, "Master, why not ask my brother to find a solution?"

After saying that, the more Mrs. Wang thought about it, the more feasible it became, and she continued with a happy face, "Besides, my second uncle is also responsible for farming and clearing wasteland, so he must be short of more than just horses.

The land reclamation site we chose is close to the Great Wall, so maybe my uncle’s side also lacks weapons to guard against rogue bandits.

Since we are all relatives, outsiders can only say that my Jia family has friendship when I help my uncle."

Jia Zheng's face was filled with joy. If he followed Mrs. Wang's idea and sent some weapons to Shi Boqian first, as a return gift, not to mention some peaches, he would even come to kowtow to the old lady in person.

Jia Zheng grabbed Mrs. Wang's hand and said with a look of relief, "My wife is still virtuous and knows how to take care of her nephews and juniors. I will write a letter to my husband now."

Mrs. Wang originally had a shy expression. After all, Jia Zheng hadn't shown any intimacy for a long time, let alone holding her hand.

But Jia Zheng went to the study without stopping for a moment, which made Mrs. Wang feel disappointed.

If Jia Zheng hadn't unexpectedly returned to the main house not long after, Mrs. Wang might have resented Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng, who had solved his worries, was surprisingly gentle and cheerful that night.

The next morning Mrs. Wang's face looked so good.

In addition, Shi Zhongkui sent a letter of thanks early the next morning, and formally invited Jia Baoyu to visit him for the first time to reminisce about the past. He even hinted that when the time came, he would seek a no-nonsense but noble official position for Jia Baoyu.

Mrs. Wang's attitude towards Shi Zhongkui immediately made a 180-degree turn.
